Oh I have found a Friend
One who loves me
Like no other
When I’m tempted
Tossed and torn
He stands with me like
A brother
He is strong when I am weak
He protects me
In times of trouble
When there’s nothing left
For me to give
I trust in Him for He is faithful
Oh Rock of Ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Through the dark
And through the storm
I’ll be safe and warm
In the Rock of Ages
Nothing in my hands I bring
Simply to the cross I’m clinging
Wash me Saviour or I die
In You alone I find my healing
To the King of ages
Immortal Invisible
Be honour and glory, amen
When I close my eyes in death
When my life on earth is over
And I stand before my King
This will be my song forever
Yeah this will be my song forever
